I wonder >if LCT II might be wrong on this one... Einstein says that e=mc^2, and you assign a graduate student to look into this for a few minutes, and he can't figure it out, so you tell him to look at it for a day, and since he can't, you assume that Einstein is wrong? This analogy stretches, I admit. Not every problem is solvable in a short time. If you search for 8 hours you are only searching a few more plies than if you search for 2 minutes. You're just doing a little more of the same old stuff. Maybe the pawn sacrifice doesn't work, but the argument against it is going to be a chess argument, not a "I searched this for a year and didn't find it" argument. bruce
